Joey McCoy vs The Handsome Strangler - WeekendWrestling

Weekend Wrestling starts off the new year right by scoring yet another great indie talent, The Handsome Strangler. He makes his debut with WW against underground scrapper Joey McCoy!

Joey McCoy vs The Handsome Strangler - WeekendWrestling

If you have been following Weekend Wrestling closely enough over the past year, you will know that Joey has been paling around with resident "demon psychotherapist" Sid Shaw in an attempt to control his temper and evil soul sucking urges. Some more backstory from the WW website:

"Since losing his temper means someone is going to lose their soul, Joey is hell bent on avoiding the complications that arise from a roster full of zombies. Sid suggested that he get some human friends and stop hanging around some of his underworldly buddies that keep him connected to his devilish and self-indulgent lifestyle. Joey connected the dots and thought it was a good time to get a tag partner. The newest member of the Weekend Wrestling Roster was the only choice, since he didn't know anything about Joey's past."


Strangler is warming up in the ring when he stops and notices a menacing smoke beginning to fill the room. From behind the mist, a possessed Joey slides into the ring. A good first impression for anyone seeking to convince a new guy to be their tag partner 😂 The whole gimmick is really goofy and over the top but I mean that in a good way and I'm glad Weekend is sticking with it.


Before it is even mentioned in the match, I immediately noticed the size difference between these 2, and is what ultimately leads The Handsome Strangler to decline Joey's proposal to be tag partners. Consumed by his inner demon(s) - Joey attacks!

Demented or not, it's going to take more than one unsuspected attack by the 5'2" McCoy to get anything close to a victory against the much larger Handsome Strangler. Emphasis on the handsome part.

I'm just waiting for that bow tie graphic on his trunks to become a target.


Joey utilizes submissions to do his best to wear down his bigger opponent, but even against Joey's submissions and at times crazed tactics, Strangler reverses with ease...along with his own style of unorthodox attacks. Don't assume this is a squash. It's not at all.

As the match picks up it becomes a quick paced back and forth, with each of the guys constantly matching and then one-upping the others intensity minute by minute. Even during the longer submission spots, the energy is still there.




Strangler will do everything he can to snuff out Joey and the darkness inside him, but McCoy is ready to add another soul to his collection. There are so many times that a victory seemed imminent for both guys, especially in the final 10 minutes. I was left guessing until the very end.



I had no doubts about this match before I bought it and couldn't wait for this one to drop. You have 2 talented wrestlers putting on a fierce show for their viewers. The flow of this match is awesome. No awkward moments that take away from the action, none of those unsure "am I doing this right?" glances at the camera man. No distracting fuck ups. This is a great, uninterrupted no holds barred pro match!  Both guys really know their audience here and play to us extremely well 😋 Strangler in particular. He's a natural. I sure hope he sticks around!

Does The Handsome Strangler live up to his name and choke the life out of Joey and exorcise his demons? Or does Joey claim yet another soul from the Weekend Wrestling locker room?

Brody Merritt vs Scrappy - Weekend Wrestling

  Brody Merritt vs Scrappy - Weekend Wrestling I took a break from the blog for a while. No reason in particular, just wasn't in the mood to write. When I noticed Weekend Wrestling's latest release, I knew it'd be the perfect match to break me out of my mid-winter hibernation! Uh oh. Looks like Scrappy has gotten all caught up in some type of cult, and seems to be its apparent leader. I'm not sure who the two in the blue and red are. The brief glimpse of a calf tattoo on the cultist in blue wasn't much to go off of. We will see if these two run any interference later in the match.  Pre-match, good guy Brody does his best to talk Scrappy out of his newfound malevolent ways...but it doesn't go so well and Brody, through a defeat, may become Scrappy's newest follower 😮 Although resilient, Brody has been the fall guy a vast majority of his time spent in the Weekend Wrestling ring. If he wants to shake his reputation of being the rosters resident hunky jobber, a...

Percy Austin vs Forrest Taylor - Wrestle Studs

  Wrestle Studs came out of nowhere, at least for me. I stumbled across the Twitter/X account late last week. Wrestle Studs is an offshoot of Muscleboy Wrestling, with a clear focus on pro-style matches as opposed to MBW's steamy content. The roster as of now is split 50/50 between familiar underground faces and guys from the indies. You'll probably recognize several of the new faces if you are an indie wrestling fan in general. We've seen some of the bigger underground companies have a side-project that stems from the original, and they usually just end up getting absorbed back into the main website. If it sticks to the pro-style content, Wrestle Studs has a lot of great potential to stand up on it's own and could even attract other wrestlers that might shy away from the more bluntly erotic mat matches on MBW.

Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy - Muscleboy Wrestling

  I've never had any particular affinity for big vs little matches, but Joey McCoy has become a favorite of mine at MBW and I know a lot of guys really love size mismatches in a fight. So, I decided to take a look at Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy from the latest Muscleboy catalog. Dax Carter vs Joey McCoy - Muscleboy Wrestling   Even Dax has a hard time believing that Joey here is who he is scheduled to wrestle with on Muscleboy's iconic orange mats. This has all the signs of a mismatch squash with poor Joey at the receiving end. Fortunately for him, Dax takes just a little bit too long talking to the camera about his confusion and Joey takes full advantage. I'm so glad this is happening. It seems like many of the matches I've been watching lately have been one sided battles. While I love a good squash, it was starting to drift into the "too much of a good thing" realm and also becoming a bit boring for me personally. Watching Joey pummel, twist, and bend a man wh...
